As always, remember to use proper grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. You are writing a narrative, so be sure to use proper dialogue. And also use descriptive details and clear event sequences.
Reflection:When I first starting using the Voicthread website, I was really confused, but I think it was because it was new to me and it scared me a little. But after getting my hands dirty with the website, it became very easy to use. Once I got used to it, I actually started having a little fun. I got to change my voice into these crazy sounds for the characters voices and I think it made the story come to life.I think that you could apply this to the classroom in many ways. You could have students present projects this way or the teacher could even record a lesson for the students if they know they are going to miss a day. I can definitely see myself using this in my classroom. I think students will enjoy using it and creating something different instead of a powerpoint or prezi.
